What is an Automatic Assembly System?

    From Robotic Arms to Smart Factories: The Technology Transforming Modern Manufacturing Automatic assembly refers to the use of mechanized and automated equipment to perform various functions in an assembly line or unit. An automatic assembly system carries out a series of automated operations to combine multiple components into a single entity, which can be either a final product or a sub-assembly. It also provides a systematic method for assembling goods that can be completed at least partially without human intervention.   In the current era of global smart manufacturing, efficiency, precision, and large-scale production have become the keys to enterprise competitiveness. The automatic assembly system is the core […]

Empowering the Sanitary Ware Industry with Intelligent Automation

In the sanitary ware industry, the bathroom shower head — a daily-se product closely tied to quality of life — has evolved from a single-function “water outlet tool” to a multi-scenario product integrating constant temperature control, water-saving atomization, and intelligent sensing. However, behind this product upgrade, the traditional manual assembly mode has long been a bottleneck restricting industry development: manual installation of components such as shower heads, hoses, interface valves, and gaskets often faces problems like inconsistent torque (leading to water leakage), misaligned assembly (affecting water flow uniformity), and low efficiency (a skilled worker can only assemble 80-100 units per day). With the surge in market demand for personalized shower […]

The Core Engine Driving Manufacturing Automation Upgrade

In the wave of global manufacturing transformation, hardware parts—such as screws, nuts, buckles, and terminals—are the “building blocks” of almost all industrial products. However, the traditional manual feeding and assembly of hardware parts have long been plagued by low efficiency, high error rates, and heavy labor dependence, becoming a bottleneck restricting the production rhythm of enterprises. Against this backdrop, Automatic Hardware Part Feeding And Assembly technology has emerged as a key solution to break through this bottleneck, integrating precision machinery, intelligent sensing, and automated control to reshape the production mode of the hardware manufacturing industry. The Technical Logic of Automatic Hardware Part Feeding And Assembly: From “Precision Delivery” to “Intelligent […]

The “Last Centimeter” of Humanoid Robots: Chinese Players Break Through

The bottleneck preventing humanoid robots from moving from laboratories to factories and homes is not usually “can they walk,” but “can they grasp.” As the “nerve endings” of robots, dexterous hands account for about one-fifth of the total cost and directly determine whether a robot can pick up an egg, hold a cup steadily, open a bottle cap, or even perform minimally invasive surgery. This “hand” that integrates precision machinery, flexible electronics, and AI is truly the “last centimeter” in robot industrialization.   As the humanoid robot boom intensifies, the dexterous hand industry stands at the threshold of large-scale development. But how to balance high versatility with low cost? Should […]
